Let's get - yes for the CPM represents me, or no for the CPM doesn't represent me.
I'd like to see.
BTW, my vote is no.
Voting yes, the CMP represents me.
Do I agree with all of them or everything they say? No, but i doubt it would be any different with elected representatives.
From what i can see CMP0 is focusing on pushing the improvement of the core of DUST, and the CCP/CPM interactions, which is what we need right now.

This is my thought too. I see CPM members commenting in here. Why is it taking so long to set up elections?
I don't think anyone would disagree with wanting to get to the point where we have elected representatives. Its a lot of fun watching it all on the EVE side, and its cool to see voting blocks come together. We will get there, so all we are left with is the timing of the elections.
Right now though, i keep asking myself the question:
"Would elections now be a benefit or a detriment to the game?"
Since CMP0 is struggling to get any form of meaningful back and forth out of CCP, i feel like new elected representatives, who have not yet been able to build up a relationship with CCP, who have not yet been able to prove to CCP their value, would essentially be starting over.
The relationship and trust in EVE between the CSM / CCP is why it is as strong as it is today, not because it represents the players extraordinarily well. EVE devs know they can count on the CSM and so they use it. We absolutely have to get the CPM and CCP working together before we can fix anything, and for that we need CCP to know and trust the CPM.
An election could very well reset the relationship between the CPM and CCP, so I have to think waiting until that link is stronger is the way to proceed. Get CCP to accept the CPM, get them using the CPM, then once we do an election they already know the value, putting our elected representatives in a position where they can do some good, and not forcing them to repeat work that CPM0 is doing. |
